What do you think of this Will Smith interview? Does he want to leave or stay with the Sharks?
I really think he's having a lot of doubts about the situation... Yes, the team atmosphere seems great and he has a fantastic connection with Macklin, but honestly, I think he wants something more (professional) for himself that the Sharks won't give him because they already have Mack. I feel like in the final interviews, Warso acknowledges a little that Will is also valuable to the team, but I think the seed of doubt has already been planted.

Grateful for this (obstructed) view
Shout out to the Mammoth for using these obstructed seats as an opportunity to build their local fanbase. This was my family’s 10th game of the season using the smith’s value tickets ($15 per seat and each seat came with a free hotdog and water bottle). For the 4 of us, it has cost $60 per game (plus the free dinner and no gas/parking since we ride the trax in from the burbs). Is the view badly obstructed? For sure. But for a guy with kids and a tight budget, it’s been an amazing opportunity to support our new team and experience NHL hockey in person. I know they are still planning to fix the seating in the Delta Center and the value tickets will no doubt go away eventually but I’m so grateful for all the memories my family made this season. My kids in particular have become such big fans of hockey and, as a former youth hockey kid, man it makes me happy. Anyway, Tusks Up!

Why are the devs so obsessed with making protective gear bad?
Sure, we've already had general discussions around the whole concept of realism as opposed to gameplay and fun, and how the devs seem to only care about realism when it contributes to the game being more miserable. But in most cases, I could at least see the reasoning around the decisions made, even if I sometimes strongly disagreed. But with protective gear, I simply don't understand what the point of nerfing it into uselessness even is. It's not like having basic armor is a godmode that allows you to ignore zeds and neglect the game's core mechanics, because that's not how protection in this game works. Best case scenario, having good gear allows you to mostly relax when dealing with a few zeds, knowing that if you were to make a mistake, or two, or three, you'd likely be fine. But even that is not free, given how quickly gear deteriorates. Every mistake, a chunk of your armor is gone. If you treat it like an invincibility cheat, it'll be destroyed pretty quickly, if you even survive to that point, playing this recklessly. And that's it. That's literally all the advantage that protective gear gives you. You'll still be prone to getting stun-locked by more than 5 zeds. You'll still risk getting bit with every mistake, even wearing the best armor you can smith. You'll still be immediately killed when dragged down in a crowd, regardless of what you're wearing. But even with armor being this mediocre, the devs seem to despise the very concept of it. You want to be slightly safer in small fights? Alright, but now you're slower, and you get tired more, and you sweat more, and your character is miserable, and there are probably 5 more obscure punishing mechanics hidden behind 2 wiki articles that the average player will never learn about. Imagine, in real-life zombie apocalypse, you meet someone refusing to wear protective gear, and their reasoning is, "It's uncomfortable and slows you down a little bit." You'd consider them brain-damaged. But in Zomboid, they're meta. Why? Genuinely, why? Why is a protection mechanic even in the game if the player is so over-punished for wanting to engage with it? I believe that every tier of protective gear/armor should be a viable option with reasonable downsides, proportional to how good the defense is. But not just "you wear it, you suffer" downsides. Difficulty of acquiring gear is also a downside. Effort of maintaining and repairing said gear are also a downside. Let your players have nice things... especially if they grinded 40h of blacksmithing for them. Sure, wearing full plate armor for half a day in the middle of summer should probably be bad for your mood and health, but at least let me wear hockey knee pads and a gas mask for a full day without my character needing 4 therapy sessions and 12 boxes of anti-anxiety pills. Some players consider it meta to not wear pants in summer in a zombie apocalypse, because it's not worth it, and they genuinely have a point.

Will Smith pressing?
I’m concerned. He’s not making good passes, he’s not catching good passes, zero SOG yesterday and one weak backhanded dribbler today. 17 SOG over 9 games in March. The “eye test” tells me he’s slow and/or lazy chasing down pucks and you almost never see him in a puck battle. He’s just been invisible lately. The hockey stat cards the past few games don’t look “too” bad, but I think playing with Celebrini and Graf my stats would look ok too lol. Maybe it’s the new white skates? /s He needs to heat up if the Sharks have a chance of making the playoffs. Thoughts? submitted by /u/Icy_Block9919 to r/SanJoseSharks [link] [comments]

Will Smith
Will Smith is my favorite Sharks player. I feel sorry for him because he gets asked so many questions about Macklin. I think he will be a star in his own right, and the press should ask him questions about him. Does anyone else feel this way? submitted by /u/Life-Ebb-2307 to r/SanJoseSharks [link] [comments]

The extreme WillMack obsession is actually making me sick!
All over TikTok, there's an extreme obsession over Will and Mack. It's okay to have crushes, but just don't go too far! Search "Will Smith Hockey" on TikTok and you'll get tons of simp edits. At that game against the Kraken in Seattle, two women clearly older that them held up a sign that said something like "Will and Mack can be kraken me tonight" idk. There's an extremely gross woman on TikTok who looks in her 40s who says vile things about them. I just found out about that stalker the other day and I'm completely disgusted! The other problem is people who ship them! It's a total invasion of personal space! It seems like people can't accept two men being friends anymore. People need to realize they they're real people. I'm gay so I'm not being in any way homophobic, just letting people know. My other thing is all the people from out of state that are obsessed with them. I put a poll on TikTok asking who's from California and only 5% were. I'm all for the Sharks having more fans, but this is insane! Edit: I think I messed up on the last paragraph. I meant the simp WillMack fans that only follow because of crushes and not actual fans from out of the greatest US state. 🔱🌉🐻 🌲 submitted by /u/Ecstatic-Yak-6016 to r/SanJoseSharks [link] [comments]

[Smith] Guerin on Hughes: “You can’t make promises. I think Quinn will really like it here. He’s a hockey nut. He watches every game and knows what’s going on. He loves hockey and obviously there is no better market than Minnesota. Hockey is in the fabric here and I think he’ll like it.”

Will Smith and Macklin Celebrini made a bet with Tyler Toffoli on the bus that if all three of them scored Toffoli had to sleepover in Will and Macklin’s hotel room.
